2-22 Adios Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires was an overnight port for the Royal Princess.  Staying in the port allowed passengers to experience longer or overnight excursions, in this case, Iguazu Falls.  Unfortunately, with the delayed arrival all excursions of this type were cancelled.  I'm pretty sure it is safe to say there were a few upset passengers.

Back to us.  I'm up around 7 and head down to the International Cafe where I pick up two cups of coffee and egg & cheese english muffins.  It's breakfast in bed for us while we try out the new wi-fi onboard.  I must say we are pleased.  Speed had improved tremendously over the previous system.  And that's the extent of my knowledge.  We originally purchased service for one device with the intent to share between our iPhones.  We didn't want to be tied to our phones or the internet.  But the service was less than $3 a day, an affordable convenience for us both.  And I must say, it hasn't changed our socializing.  It's just nice to know we have contact with our peeps back home.

Today we finished getting organized.  Just prior to sailing we attended the mandatory safety drill where we're instructed on what to do in an emergency, and how to put on our life jackets.  The ship cannot sail until all new passengers have attended.  We're still exhausted from our whirlwind pace in Buenos Aires & Iguazu, so an afternoon rest is in order.  Later that evening we meet Pat & Dean for dinner in the main dining room.

It's hot and our energy is fading.  So we say our goodnights and head to bed
